UnCategorized Holy Stresssssssss! Is your stress management out of control? Have you racked up your "building character" points beyond a reasonable lifetime spending limit and frequently on the verge of ripping your face off, snapping sarcastically at inanimate objects, and consuming massive amounts of toxins merely to cope? Take heart and read on. You are far from alone and rapidly recruiting overqualified candidates at an unprecedented pace that is spiraling out of control. The majority of those afflicted fall far beyond that healthy "stress" that motivates and inspires us. We are talking severe stress of epidemic proportions. Are we facing a no win situation?

Not to mention she just saved you a bucket of time and money. Since we are on a roll, let’s dig into the main course before we lose our appetites. After all, finding oneself smothered in responsibility can be simply nauseating. Rate yourself: Never – 1, Very Often – 5. 1. I feel that my life is making me physically or emotionally sick. 2. I have too much to do and not enough time to do it. 3. My family and/or personal life is suffering. 4. I can not express my opinions or feelings to anyone. 5.

Close your eyes and breathe deeply in and out from your abdomen for a really, really long time or at least until you stop shaking. 2. Break: Get away. Physically remove yourself from everything and anything familiar. You will pick up a little perspective along the way and with luck may even wind up in another "state". That is fine. Just phone home when you get a chance – or not. 3. Balance: Write down 2 things to do (some days this can be as simple as eat breakfast, read paper, check email), do them, and reward yourself (tea time, workout, phone call to a funny friend). Try the "2 on/1 off" method – 2 tasks to 1 reward, 2 hours work to 1 hour play. Something to consider: If everyone is so stressed out, venting to others may not offer the relief it once did and could serve to make matters worse.
